evidence, even of a hearsay character, that
tends to show a claim to be fraudulent, the OPP
pOrtunity to procure fraudulent pension, or
to enjoy one after it is procured. seems 70 be re-
duced TO the minimum.
No pension attorney or other claim agent
has ever advocated this bill before this COM
mittee or spoken in its favor TO a single men,
Der thereof Indeed, the paltry fee of s. al
lowed for the prosecution of claims under it
offers no indueemcnt to them. They perfer TO
cOnfine their business to the more profitable
channel of S25 fees now allowed under the gen
eral law; and for that reason would rather not
see this bill become law. This is the free-wil
Offering of the committee to the soldiers of the
country, uninfuenced in any degree by claim
agents, and brought about by the needs of those
it proposes to benefit, as we have been brought
to know them. 1t is not claimed that it goes as
far as very many desired it should 60, but 1T IS
at least good start in the right direction.
In conclusion, we submit that the general
tone Of the message is TO be fairly taken as an
expression in advance of a purpose to use the
Executive power TO prevent any further legis-
latiOn that will add any new class to our pen
sion list, or that will materially increase the
cost thereof, and based upon the idea that the
country is against it.
We are aware that there is a sentiment OF
that kind but insist that it is not a controlling
one. We are 10th to believe that the people OF
| this country are willing to allow the defenders
of the Nations honor and life to live in their
declining years in misery and want, and that
they would prefer that those who make their
laws should err upon the side of mercy rather
/ than upon the side of n too rigid economy in the
expenditure of the public money in that direc-
/ ton, and If more taxes, or even different kind
Of taxes, are necessary 10 meet this demand ii
would be cheerfully paid by the people.
! Holding fast to these views of our duties as
1fufn a1 fftl
answer here and elsewhere for the results Of
1 honest labors to relieve the INDECENT soldiers
of our common country in every section of it
coming as they do from many wars in which
we have been engaged, and with every conf
dence Of right verdict upon the whole matter
we submit our bill again for the judgment Oft the
House. and ask for it the most rigid criticism, be
lieying it will tend to strengthen rather than t
weaken it. We recommend, without dis
senting voice in this committee that the bill
do pass notwithstanding the objections Of tn
| President.

Eye Surgery.

During the last II years 1862 cases Of eatar-
act were operated at the Maryland Eye and Ear
Institute, 1O3 Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore,
Md, by DIR. George Reuling, Surgeon in charge.
OF this number $50 were perfectly successful
that is, So in every 100 were able to see well in
the distance and to read fine print after the
operation; SO had sufficient vision to walk
about and attend to ordinary business, and only
43 were not benefited sufficiently for any prac-
teal purpose. This shows to what great per-
lection the present mode of cataract operation
has been brought.
